Resumen
We document 16 bird species (Anas platyrhynchos, Anas strepera, Phalacrocorax auritus, Limnodromus scolopaceus, Stercorarius pomarinus, Stercorarius longicaudus, Larus fuscus, Columbina cruziana, Chalcostigma stanleyi, Empidonax minimus, Vireo griseus, Anthus rubescens Passerculus sandwichensis, Vermivora ruficapilla, Limnothlypis swainsonii and Dives warszewiczi) and one bird subspecies (Oxyura j. jamaicensis) new to Colombia. These comprise three species whose presence in the country or wider region has been considered unconfirmed owing to lack of evidence (e.g. Hilty & Brown 1986, Remsen et al. 2008), one introduced species and nine species found to date on San Andrés island. Records of two US banded and recovered Aix sponsa in Colombia are not valid. Notes on escaped and possibly introduced species are presented.
